Off to a good start! \n\nThe food I tried: \n1. Fried Oysters (4.5/5)\n-Very good, bite sized, would order again \n\n2. Chicken Karaage (3.5/5) \n-pieces were a little too big in my opinion \n-spicier than I thought \n\n3. Today's 5 pick sashimi (3.5/5) \n-the 5 I got were shrimp, salmon, sea urchin, tuna and I forget the last one.. \n-the sea urchin was surprisingly REALLY good \n-tuna was cut too thick, I broke it up into small pieces \n\n4. Seared box salmon sushi (3.5/5)\n-not the best I've had but still pretty decent\n\nThe staff were great, and always making sure we were doing well. The highlight of the night was when the manager offered my friend and I free desserts off their new menu (not knowing it was my birthday so it was a nice surprise!). The dessert we got was the black sesame creme br\u00FBl\u00E9e (must try!!) and a cheesecake (meh). \n\nOverall it was a pretty good experience. No complaints about atmosphere or the service. The food was decent and would come back because it's somewhat better priced than other izakya places."^^ . . . "0"^^ .
